Philippe Jordan
As the music director of Paris Opera and designated principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra from the 2014/2015 season, Philippe Jordan, still aged only 38, is one of the most talented and successful conductors of his generation. From 1998 to 2001 he was an assistant to Daniel Barenboim at Berlin’s Unter den Linden State Opera, where he subsequently held the post of principal guest conductor from 2006 to 2010. From 2001 to 2004 he was principal conductor of Graz Opera House and the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra, during which time he also made his debut at New York’s MET, the State Operas of Vienna and Munich, Milan’s La Scala, as well as the festivals of Aix-en-Provence, Glyndebourne and Salzburg. Jordan has previously conducted concerts of the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, the Philharmonia Orchestra as well as the orchestras
of Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco.
Isabelle Faust
Isabelle Faust captivates her listeners through her insightful and faithful interpretations, based on a thorough knowledge of the historical context of the works as well as her attention to current scholarship.
At an early age, Isabelle Faust won the prestigious Leopold Mozart and Paganini competitions and was soon invited to appear with the world's leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. 2016 marks her first year as Artistic Partner for the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
Isabelle Faust performs a wide-ranging repertoire, from Johann Sebastian Bach all the way through to contemporary composers such as György Ligeti, Helmut Lachenmann and Jörg Widmann. To highlight this versatility, in addition to her mastery of the great symphonic violin concertos, Isabelle Faust also performs works such as Kurtág's »Kafka Fragments« with the soprano Anna Prohaska, or Schubert’s octet on historical instruments. She will premiere several new works for violin and orchestra during the next seasons, including concerti by the composers Ondrej Adamek, Marco Stroppa, Oscar Strasnoy and Beat Furrer.
